Cabled connector including cable guide attached detachably to connector cover

Abstract

A connector cover is formed by combining a first half cover and a second half cover. A cable guide is formed to have a pipe form by combining two cable half guides each having a semicircular cross section. The cable guide envelopes and guides a part of a cable leading out from the connector cover. The two cable half guides are coupled by being engaged with each other at one end, and are coupled with each other and attached detachably to the connector cover by being held between the first half cover and the second half cover at the other end.

1. A shielded cabled connector with a balanced transmission cable extending from a connector cover, the cabled connector comprising;
 a cable guide, independent from said connector cover, having a curved pipe shape accommodating said cable therethrough and enveloping and guiding a part of said cable leading out from said connector cover, said cable guide comprising a straight base part having a first central axis and a distal end part having a second central axis disposed at an oblique angle with respect to said first central axis of said base part, the straight base part being attached detachably to said connector cover, 
 said connector cover comprising a first shielded half cover having a substantially U-shaped pull lever attached at a rear end on both sides of the first shielded half cover, and a second shielded half cover combinable with each other, 
 said cable guide comprising two cable half guides combinable with each other, 
 said first half cover and said second half cover including respective wall portions confronting each other when said first half cover and said second half cover are combined, said respective wall portions of said first and second half covers forming together a cable exit hole holding therein said cable guide when said first and second half covers are combined, and 
 said cable guide having a pair of catching portions at a base part thereof, each of said catching portion having a flange connected with a locking hook said pair of catching portions being engaged with respective recesses formed on mutually mating surfaces of said wall portions of said first and second shielded half covers at opposite lateral sides of said cable exit hole limitedly within respective ranges of widths of said wall portions. 
 
   
   
     2. The shielded cabled connecter as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein:
 each of the cable half guides has a semicircular cross section; and 
 said two cable half guides are attached detachably to said connector cover. 
 
   
   
     3. The shielded cabled connector as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein:
 said engaging parts attaching said cable guide to said connector cover are arranged symmetrically about said cable exit hole of said connector cover; and 
 said cable guide is capable of being attached to said connector cover with an end part of said cable guide being turned in a different direction. 
 
   
   
     4. The shielded cabled connector as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the cable guide is of a selected one of different, predetermined curvatures between the straight base part thereof and the distal end part thereof. 
   
   
     5. The shielded cabled connector as claimed in  claim 4 , wherein the cable guide defines a selected one of different drawing-out angles. 
   
   
     6. A shielded connector cover, comprising:
 a first shielded half cover having a substantially U-shaped pull lever attached at a rear end on both sides of the first shielded half cover, and a second shielded half cover combinable with each other so that a cable guide is attached detachably to said shielded connector cover; 
 said first half cover and said second half cover comprising respective wall portions confronting each other when said first half cover and said second half cover are combined, said respective wall portions of said first shielded half cover and said second shielded half cover forming a cable exit hole when said first and second shielded half covers are combined; and 
 a straight portion of said cable guide at a base part thereof having catching portions having respective flanges connected with corresponding locking hooks to engage respective recesses formed on mutually mating surfaces of said wall portions of said first and second shielded half covers limitedly within respective ranges of widths of said wall portions at opposite lateral sides of said cable exit hole, 
 said cable guide having a curved shape comprising said straight base part held by said connector cover and a distal end part forming an oblique angle with respect to said base part, 
 said first half cover and said second half cover holding said straight base part of said cable guide therebetween at a selected one of plural axial angles for said distal end part with respect to said connector cover. 
 
   
   
     7. The shielded connector cover as claimed in  claim 6 , wherein the cable guide is of a selected one of different, predetermined curvatures between the straight base part thereof and the distal end part thereof. 
   
   
     8. The shielded connector cover as claimed in  claim 7 , wherein the cable guide defines a selected one of different drawing-out angles.
